Re: Contour label format

[Billy Kessler <kessler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think Andrew is right about only being able to set 
the number of significant digits. In a case such as

> contour/i=1:20/j=1:20 exp(0*i+j)

I would plot the log (!). 

However, as long as we're on the subject of contour
labeling, there are little known label modifier
commands that may be useful:

PPL CONPRE,text
PPL CONPST,text

For example, try:

PPL CONPRE,EXTRA
PPL CONPST,TEXT
contour/i=1:20/j=1:20 (0*i+j)

Or use this to mess around with colors:

PPL CONPRE,EXTRA@c002  
PPL CONPST,@c001TEXT
contour/size=0.12/i=1:20/j=1:20 (0*i+j)

These changes are persistant until cancelled with

PPL CONPRE
PPL CONPST
